Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of research on the spatial dimension of selected aspects of socio-economic life in the countryside around Szadek in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. The analysis was carried out on the basis of a query of articles and notes from two provincial magazines published in the analyzed period: “Kaliszanin” and “Gazeta Kaliska”. It turned out that they contain a lot of valuable data, often unavailable in other types of historical sources. The research allowed to show the main directions of transformations and the variety of problems relating to socio-cultural issues, economic and agrarian activity and ownership relations in the analyzed area, and indirectly gave an opportunity to present the situation in rural areas in the Russian partition in the period after the enfranchisement of peasants.
